Playing at St Andrews Old Course in Scotland

As the top ranked course in Scotland, Ireland and Britain getting a tee time at St Andrews Old Course may seem like an uphill battle. There are five ways that you, and your group can play the historic Old Course at St Andrews.

The Old Course Ballot

The St. Andrews Links Trust, which oversees the management of seven courses in the area, strives to maintain fairness and accessibility with its lottery system. Nearly half of all tee times are unavailable for reservation, allowing the remaining slots to be filled 48 hours before play. If you have between two and four golfers in your party, you can enter by ballot. by phone or in person at the Old Pavilion or one of the clubhouses.


Play Alone (Solo)

It is Scottish golf etiquette to always welcome a single to play with twosomes or threesomes, and this tradition remains true at St. Andrews. If you’re in the area and wish to take on the Old Course, simply check into the Old Pavilion, and golf staff will try to pair you with an existing group that isn’t full.


Reservations with an Authorized Provider

Speak with one of our consultants at Scratch Golf Tours to get yourself, or your group tee times during your visit to the Golf Coast of Scotland.


Apply to the University of St. Andrews

Since the St. Andrews Links was initially a gift to the residents, playing privileges are extended to the locals. If you choose to attend the University of St. Andrews, you are considered a local resident, and the student rates seem too good to be true. For just £240, or $292, students can play any of the seven courses all year. This includes the old course.


Compete in an Amateur Event at St. Andrews

The Open Championship isn’t the only way to compete at the Old Course. St. Andrews offers amateur events for boys, girls, men, and women.
